Tom House has spent nearly 80 years learning what it actually takes to build elite athletes — and he's still coaching. A former MLB pitcher turned pitching coach, Tom has worked with some of the most iconic athletes in sports history — including Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Nolan Ryan, and a long list of MLB pitchers spanning multiple generations. In this conversation, he shares the philosophy that has kept him relevant across decades of sport, technology, and cultural change. We get into why today's athletes are physically better than ever but technically underdeveloped, what most coaches get wrong about solving performance problems, and why Tom believes baseball is a game of failure coached by negative people in a misinformation environment. He also breaks down the four performance absolutes he's built his coaching system around — and why the mental and emotional side of sport is still the most overlooked piece of the puzzle. Tom also opens up about his personal health journey, what authenticity really means when you're working with superstars like Brady and Brees, and why — after a career full of Hall of Famers — his favorite athletes to coach might surprise you. If you've ever wanted to hear from someone who has worked with the best in the world and still shows up every day to make athletes better, this one's for you.
